The Cold Water Witch by Yannick D Murphy

It's the coldest night of the year and an eerie figure floats into a young girl's house. It is the Cold Water Witch and she's searching for someone to take her place as the ruler of a lonely, distant, frozen land. But the Cold Water Witch isn't prepared for the spunky child who awaits her. In the rewarding tradition of the classic fairy tale, this battle of wits between a young girl and a witch takes an unexpected turn, and readers discover that the magic of friendship is the greatest magic of all.
